HackOut! is an Italian experimental jazz trio, who are “bass-less” in that they experiment without that low-end. Established in 2019 at the F Venezze Conservatory of Rovigo, HackOut! comprises Manuel Caliumi on alto sax, Luca Zennaro on guitar and Riccardo Cocetti on drums.
On the back of releasing their new album Cortado, the band are touring India for the first time, with a stop in Bengaluru at ZLB23, housed within The Leela Palace. Their India tour is a quick five-city run of shows, which kicked off in New Delhi on November 27. A description for their tour says, “Their repertoire includes compositions that highlight the personality of each musician by seeking the balance between harmonic structures and radical improvisation, acoustic and electric timbres.”

Every year, snakebites claim the lives of tens of thousands in India, and is one of the leading causes of accidental death in rural areas. Agricultural workers, tribal communities, and residents of remote villages bear the brunt of this crisis, which often leads to death, permanent disability, and lasting psychological trauma. In many ways, snakebite is the “poor man’s disease,” disproportionately affecting the country’s most vulnerable populations.
